nice place
Hi, this was a nice place with a nice host but there were a few issues I had with it: One, it was full of perfumes, so if someone is sensitive to smells/synthetic fragrances it should be noted. The second is the windows don't open, so if someone needs fresh air coming in, take note. There is a great working ac/heat unit. The last thing is that it is right off a train track, so, the train woke us up at 3am..so if you're a light sleeper, take note...besides for that, the host was wonderful, it was a beautiful home, it had everything we needed, and we enjoyed the fence yard and friendly neighbors.
